Munich quintet Fazer release their second album, Nadi. Nadi follows the underground
success of their self-released debut Mara (2018), which quickly sold out and became
one of the most-streamed jazz records of the year. Moving freely between composition
and improvisation, the band's spacious, organic sound pitches lyrical melodies from
guitar and trumpet over double-drummer polyrhythmic grooves and dub-like basslines.
The album title Nadi references a term rooted in traditional Indian medicine. Nadis
are channels that connect points of intensity within the body. This reflects the
band's feeling while playing of moving as one body. Contrary to the creation of Mara,
both the writing and recording sessions for Nadi were completed in relatively short
periods of time.

After releasing two records with the quintet Fazer, German guitarist Paul Brändle
presents his solo debut on Squama Recordings. Paul's minimalist compositions move
in slow-motion between straight-ahead jazz, folk, and blues, only subtly disclosing
their musical origins. The album was recorded in Vienna during the annual "Hundstage",
a period in the summer during which the whole city succumbs to the humid heat. Short
on oxygen, but not on ideas, Paul created nine tracks of soothing excellence that
are worth calming down for.

SQM 005 CARLOS CIPA/MARTIN BRUGGER/SIMON POPP : RUNDEN LP 09.2020
Runden is a collaboration by Martin Brugger (bass) and Simon Popp (drums), both of
contemporary jazz quintet Fazer, and neo-classical pianist Carlos Cipa. Their debut
LP is a conceptual record reflecting on minimal music, Afrobeat, and dub techno of
the late '90s/early 2000s. While Cipa's solo works build on clear harmonies, for the
recordings of Runden he prepared the piano to make it sound like a faintly tonal
percussion instrument and his mechanical patterns contrast the syncopated drum
grooves of Popp and the deep and sparse basslines of Brugger. The musicians explore,
over the course of seven tracks, the concept of circular music. Each piece is based
on a four-bar-motif played in a loop and varied subtly but steadily over time,
creating a sense of eternal recurrence and timelessness. This makes Runden a meditative
but demanding record, that only grows with every listen.
